Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders – Santa Monica, CA (05/30/73)

Garcia & Saunders
The Ash Grove; Santa Monica, CA
5/30/73 Late Show

This is flac encoded & tagged version of shnid: 9587

This was originally listed as 05/23/73 but I do not believe that date is correct. The Grateful Dead played a gig at the Cow Palace on that date with Waylon Jennings and New Riders of the Purple Sage. Additionally, there are concert posters advertising a Garcia/Saunders gig at The Ash Grove on May 30. So I feel pretty confident in changing the date on all of the files. – The Midnight Cafe, November 2024.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header
of each flac file. It will display on any player
capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags
will be stripped, however audio data will remain
unaffected. If you must transcode to a lossy format,
do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
